Abstract

The invention provides a synchronization detecting device and synchronization detecting method capable of reducing erroneous detection of symbol timing synchronization caused by detection leakage of correlative peak, for improved detection precision. A symbol timing synchronization detecting circuit 14 calculates the correlation value 40 of a radio packet signal 26 that is received by a correlation calculation circuit 30. A peak detecting circuit 32 compares the correlation value 40 with a threshold value that is used, and a detection signal 44 is transmitted to a symbol synchronization process circuit 34 according to the correlation value equal to or higher than the threshold value. The threshold value of the peak detecting circuit 32 is so set that a threshold value used in a prescribed predicted period and the period other than that are different on and after first peak detection. A first peak is detected with the threshold value of strict condition in the period other than the prescribed predicted one, and the next peak detection timing is predicted according to the detection. The synchronization detection position is judged based on the fact that no correlative peak is present at the predicted timing, for outputting synchronization detection signal.

Description

Sync detection device and synchronization detecting method
Technical field
The present invention relates to sync detection device and synchronization detecting method, sync detection device of the present invention is to be particularly related to the sync detection device of ganging up the symbol sequential sync detection circuit of installing in the demodulating equipment of letter at WLAN (local area network (LAN)) isopulse that adopts orthogonal frequency-division (OFDM) modulation system.In addition, synchronization detecting method of the present invention relates to the synchronization detecting method of the synchronous detection method of the symbol sequential that for example uses in the demodulation of OFDM demodulating equipment.
Background technology
Communication terminal in the WLAN carries out the transmission and the reception of signal with the packets of information pattern that signal segmentation is become packets of information transmit.The beginning part in packets of information during with the packets of information pattern is provided with boot.Boot is used for Frequency Synchronization and symbol sequential is synchronous.
Now the packets of information pattern further is illustrated.The packets of information of the OFDM that stipulates among the IEEE of the international standard in the WLAN (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.11a comprises boot signal, signal and data.Wherein, be provided with short boot that comprises short symbol and the long boot that comprises long symbol in the boot.Comprise 10 short symbols that are used to form specific waveforms in short boot, the effect of short boot is to establish the synchronous and carrier frequency synchronization of Frequency Synchronization, symbol sequential among the OFDM etc.Here, so-called Frequency Synchronization means that the frequency error of the oscillator that transmitter-receiver is possessed proofreaies and correct.In addition, symbol sequential is to be undertaken synchronously by detecting the OFDM symbol sequential synchronously.This is used for the demodulation process of OFDM burst signal synchronously.
Behind this weak point symbol, disposed long symbol.Long symbol is used for inferring of the propagation path of inferring as channel, and propagation path is inferred and is used for each subcarrier is inferred at distortion has taken place propagation path phase place and amplitude.
There is a kind of boot to establish the synchronous method of symbol sequential according to this form.This method is to utilize received signal and known special pattern to carry out the multiple correlation computing, and the correlation that obtains and the threshold value of regulation are compared, and relatively detects relevant peaks by this.The detection of this relevant peaks is equivalent to 10 short symbols that comprise in short boot are detected respectively.Symbol sequential is to detect the boundary position of short boot and long boot as synchronization timing synchronously, obtains synchronous detection signal.During with this method,, after detecting the process stipulated time, this relevant peaks judges again whether this method detects relevant peaks for obtaining synchronous detection signal.When not detecting relevant peaks, judge that the packets of information that receives moves to long boot, determine boundary position, output symbol sequential synchronizing signal thus.Symbol sequential is established with such operation synchronously.The stipulated time here is for example corresponding to time of a short boot.
But, because the judgement of this method is that to establish symbol sequential synchronous according to fail to detect relevant peaks in the timing of expectation, so be desirably in the last figure in the repetitive pattern that short boot had before this, promptly the 10th short symbol place correctly detects relevant peaks.As can not correctly detecting this relevant peaks, it is synchronous just can not to establish symbol sequential with correct sequential.The fact that the comparison of the correlation that is gone out by the detection computations by above-mentioned relevant peaks and the threshold value of regulation is tried to achieve can know that also in the method, the setting of the threshold value of regulation is important to the correct detection of relevant peaks.
Consider this importance, can think that relevant peaks easily is detected if the field value set of regulation must be hanged down.But it is reported that in the time so the field value set of regulation must being hanged down, it is synchronous to can not get high-precision symbol sequential.This is set in the noise that is subject to propagation path in the synchronous detecting and the influence of multipath.Particularly the latter's multipath transmits, because the delay ripple that arrives is multiple overlapping, thereby the signal waveform distortion, detection difficult.As these results, this setting has improved the probability that detects relevant peaks in incorrect timing, has reduced the synchronous precision of symbol sequential.
The OFDM demodulating equipment of patent documentation 1, by detect short symbol, along with this detection narrows detection window by stages, detects the timing of the threshold value be no more than regulation, improve the timing detection precision.
In addition, the ofdm demodulator of patent documentation 2 possesses level judging circuit 39,40 and 41 especially in sequential decision circuitry 3, judge when each input signal surpasses threshold value whether have the boot signal before cycle 1T He before the 2T with level judging circuit 39 and 40, whether level judging circuit 41 detects current comparing with the value before the 1T from the shown value of correlator output signal and reduces with the ratio more than the constant ratio.The judgement that condition judgment circuit 43 is judged to be in each level judging circuit 39,40 and 41 all is the concluding time position that true time detects boot, thereby the synchronous detection of symbol sequential of high accuracy is provided.
Improve regularly accuracy of detection though these documents disclose by means of the time conditions in weigh detecting, anyly do not express or hint doing based on the judgement of signal level.

The following describes the work of the symbol sequential sync detection circuit 14 in the OFDM demodulating equipment 10.To the packets of information signal 26 of multiple computing circuit 30 supplies as the reception of complex baseband signal.Shown in Fig. 3 (a), in the packets of information signal 26 that receives, boot has short boot 60 and long boot 62, and data field 64 is connected on thereafter.Though short boot 60 comprises 10 short symbol S1~S10, has illustrated last 3 in Fig. 3 (a): S8, S9 and S10.The packets of information signal 26 that receives was provided with GI in the beginning of long boot 62 originally, but had omitted GI in figure (a), only showed 2 long symbol L1 and L2.In addition, GI, SIGNAL district and the GI of 64 beginning have also been omitted in the data field.The SIGNAL district is the zone that the transfer rate of data field and data volume etc. are shown.
Multiple computing circuit 30 serves as that computing is carried out to multiple correlation in the basis with the figure signal of packets of information signal 26 that receives and the short boot of storing in advance, exports the correlation 40 of calculating one by one to peak testing circuit 32.The computing of multiple computing circuit 30 can obtain for example such result of Fig. 3 (b).
Peak testing circuit 32 is provided with threshold value S A, S B, select signal 42 some among setting 2 according to the threshold value supplied with.32 pairs of correlations of being supplied with of peak testing circuit 40 compare with the threshold value that sets, and export the detection signal 44 of relevant peaks when having supplied with the correlation 40 more than the threshold value to counter 36.
Counter 36 is reset to 0 along with the supply of relevant peaks detection signal 44, counts according to the clock of input thereafter.Counter 36 is to sequential generative circuit 38 output count values 46.
Here, when supposition propagation path in good condition, the repetition period of the symbol in peak testing circuit 32 and the short boot detects relevant peaks accordingly.Because the length of symbol by format specification, is periodically supplied with, so in case this means that detecting after the relevant peaks is the timing that measurable next relevant peaks is detected.Sequential generative circuit 38 utilizes this point and the output condition that generates timing to make comparisons output symbol sequential synchronizing signal 28.The phenomenon that relevant peaks detects the sequential generative circuit 38 of present embodiment according to accepting, the count value of counter 36 is not 0, count value still continues to increase is judged at previous relevant peaks place and is switched growth boot 62, output symbol sequential synchronizing signal 28 from short boot 60.
In addition, sequential generative circuit 38 possesses not shown peak counter.The peak counter is to counting from the detection signal of being supplied with 44 of peak testing circuit 32, resets according to the output of symbol sequential synchronizing signal 28.Sequential generative circuit 38 has not shown signal systematic function portion, generates threshold value according to the value of being counted and selects signal 42.In more detail, signal systematic function portion generates threshold value and selects signal 42, and the feasible relevant peaks that do not detect when reception begins is ended to detecting initial relevant peaks, and promptly the peak counting is 0 o'clock selection threshold value S A, with peak counting be 1~10 the timing of being predicted and again prediction regularly suitable during selection threshold value S B, and select threshold value S in the timing of carrying out peak counting in addition AThis is equivalent to: check the detection of relevant peaks under than initial stricter condition, in case detect, that just believes the front utilizes threshold value S AInspection, in estimation range with low threshold value S BDetect relevant peaks, focus on the easness aspect of detection.
The situation of Fig. 3 (b) is that peak testing circuit 32 is selected signal 42 acceptance threshold S according to threshold value ASelection, detect initial relevant peaks at moment T1.Moment T2~T4 until after this selects signal 42 acceptance threshold S from threshold value BSelection.In view of the above, owing to detected relevant peaks at the later moment T3 of moment T2, at this moment sequential generative circuit 38 judges that T2 is not a switching timing constantly.Because during moment T4, not detecting relevant peaks later on, so count value presents the increase state from moment T3.In view of the above, sequential generative circuit 38 judges that T3 is a synchronization timing constantly, output symbol sequential synchronizing signal 28.
By this work as can be known, in case after receiving received wireless messages bag signal 26, it is synchronous that symbol sequential sync detection circuit 14 can detect symbol sequential reliably.Because after this synchronous detecting, symbol sequential sync detection circuit 14 carries out synchronously with detected symbol sequential, so as long as provide synchronous sequence to each one.
In contrast, in Fig. 3 (c), take only to use threshold value S with identical so far mode AJudge switching timing.At this moment, owing to detect relevant peaks, know that T1 is not a synchronization timing constantly at moment T2.But, during than other symbols low, can not detect relevant peaks to the correlation of the 10th symbol of short boot 62 at moment T3 because of the state of propagation path.This expression has the peak to detect omission.Therefore, it is synchronization timing that sequential generative circuit 38 is judged to be moment T2 mistakenly, has carried out wrong synchronous detecting.
Here, if use present embodiment, then because the correlation of moment T3 is higher than threshold value S BSo, can correctly detect relevant peaks.Like this, even some deterioration of the state of propagation path, correlation reduces, and symbol sequential testing circuit 14 also can utilize peak testing circuit 32 to detect relevant peaks with high accuracy, and it is synchronous correctly to establish symbol sequential.
By means of work like this, reduced by the detection of relevant peaks and omitted the synchronous error detection of symbol sequential that causes, consequently can improve the precision of symbol sequential synchronous detecting.
Method constitutes by means of using as above, the correlation 40 that the symbol sequential sync detection circuit 14 usefulness related operation circuit 30 of 0FDM demodulating equipment 10 calculate the wireless messages bag signal 26 that receives, compare with 32 pairs of these correlations that calculate of peak testing circuit 40 and employed threshold value, according to of the detection of this correlation more than threshold value, detection signal 44 is delivered to sign synchronization treatment circuit 34 as relevant peaks.Sign synchronization treatment circuit 34 is set the threshold value of peak testing circuit 32, make initial peak detect the predictive period of later regulation with in addition during an employed threshold value different, beyond the predictive period of regulation, will be under the condition of strictness preset threshold and correlation compare, detect initial peak, according to this detection, predict that next peak detects regularly, in specified time limit until the timing of this prediction, make the setting difference of threshold value, like this, on one side relevant peaks to be detected be easy to detect, can eliminate the peak and omit, can utilize again in prediction does not on one side regularly exist relevant peaks to judge sync position detection, export synchronous detection signal, eliminate the error detection at peak, improve the precision of symbol sequential synchronous detecting in view of the above.
By means of sign synchronization treatment circuit 34 will be the value of the threshold value of the predictive period that employed threshold setting becomes to be higher than regulation in the detection at initial peak beyond the predictive period of regulation, can detect with initial peak and detect as the peak under the condition of the strictness that requires high correlation, thereby eliminate the predictive period in regulation, the peak during the symbol in the promptly short boot 60 detects to be omitted.
In addition, sign synchronization treatment circuit 34 comprises counter 36 and sequential generative circuit 38, counter 36 makes count resets according to the detection of relevant peaks, and after resetting, this amounts to, whether sequential generative circuit 38 increases in the timing of being predicted according to the count value from counter 36 is judged sync position detection, the output synchronous detection signal, judge according to the number of times of the relevant peaks of being supplied with beyond the predictive period of the predictive period of regulation and regulation during in some, set and this judged result corresponding threshold.In view of the above, can create the condition that easily detects relevant peaks, and the phenomenon that can continue to increase from the count value in the position of being predicted is judged to be and means the situation of failing to detect relevant peaks, exports as sync position detection with previous peak position, thereby reliable synchronous detecting is provided.
Can a plurality of threshold values be set to some in peak testing circuit 32 and the sign synchronization treatment circuit 34, sign synchronization treatment circuit 34 is selected signals and is supplied with a certain in the signal to 32 outputs of peak testing circuit respectively according to the configuration of threshold value.
According to synchronization detecting method of the present invention, by means of the correlation of obtaining complex baseband signal, with threshold value S ACompare, detect initial peak, detect prediction according to this and arrive regularly, use threshold value S BCarry out synchronous detecting, as synchronous detecting, the output synchronous detection signal is set threshold value S for during in addition with the continuation of measuring A, make that relevant peaks is easy to detect after detecting initial peak, eliminate the peak and omit, can eliminate the error detection at peak in view of the above.With threshold value S ASet than threshold value S BBe greatly desirable.
